- Aptitude to make a project of archaeological investigation, to be able to formulate clever questions and to develope the aims of the same one.
- Competence to make the fieldwork necessary for obtaining archaeological data, and to choose the methods and the technologies adapted to develop it.
- Suitability to make a critical analysis of the obtained information, and to announce the results.
- Aptitude to value and manage the archaeological heritage.
In a scenario of adapted normality, teaching will take place entirely in the classroom, with a theoretical and practical character.
In the theoretical classes, the content of the syllabus will be explained. The explanation will be supported by tables that facilitate understanding and memorization through images, plans, drawings, photographs and, as far as possible, materials. The specific bibliography of each topic will be provided in order to deepen in the aspects treated and in other related topics. The students will be made to reflect on the topics exposed, exercising them in the formulation of hypotheses, in the analysis of information and in the development of their critical capacity.
The interactive classes will focus on the practical learning of specific aspects of the subject. Work will be done with techniques derived from prospecting, excavation and laboratory techniques (classification and analysis techniques), as well as procedures derived from critical analysis.
There will also be field practice consisting of a visit to a site, a museum or a research centre, which will allow direct contact with archaeological problems and their conservation as heritage. The field trip will only be carried out if it is financed and if the circumstances of the centres to be visited allow it.
Observations:
In the case of obligatory distance, the classrooms with real presence will be adjusted to the groups determined by the center and the teaching will be completed through the virtual classroom.
In the case of the closure of the centre the theoretical part will be carried out telematically. Work material will be provided in electronic format through the Virtual Classroom for the theoretical part. The practical exercises (prospecting and excavation) will be carried out individually, without the need to go out into the field. The necessary indications will also be provided to cover the cards with the information obtained by telematic methods.
The visit to a site and a museum will be replaced by work on them.
In the adapted normality scenario:
- The evaluation will be carried out by means of a final written test to check the knowledge acquired by the students, which will be carried out on the official date. This test will be assessed with 60% of the final mark.
-The practices carried out in the interactive classrooms will be valued with 30% of the mark.
-The field practices will be valued with 10% of the note.
In July, students will take a theory test and present the practices indicated by the professor, if they have not passed them previously.
-In the case of official dispensation, students will be evaluated on the basis of the exam (60% of the mark), a work on the site and museum chosen for the field practice (10% of the note), and the work equivalent to the interactive classes (30% of the mark). The work should be agreed with the professor at the beginning of the term.
In cases of forced distance or closure of the centre:
The evaluation will be continuous. It will be done from at least two supervised works on the theoretical subject of the program, which will be valued with 60% of the grade. A review of a site and a museum will be presented and assessed with 10% of the mark. Prospecting and excavation sheets must also be presented and will be assessed with 30% of the mark.
Activities in complete group (theoretical classes): 30 hours.
Activities in limited group (practices): 16 hours.
Tutorships in very limited group: 2 hours.
Evaluation: 2 hours.
Subtotal: 50 hours
Individual work: I study: 40 hours.
To writte (work): 30 hours.
Preparation of activities in limited group: 30 hours.
Subtotal: 100 hours.
TOTAL: 150 hours.
To understand French and English languages by the texts.
